Breakfast Home Lab

REFLECTION…

For this huge home lab project we had to find three different breakfast recipes, two breakfast foods and one smoothie recipe. I decided to make a Hash brown breakfast casserole as my main dish, a Cinnamon Apple overnight oats as my more of a side dish, and finally a Very Berry Vanilla smoothie as my drink.

The parts that went well for me were my ability to work independently and trusting my own instincts when making certain decisions in my recipes, i feel i also improved a little in my knife skills where i had to cut the potatoes and bacon for my casserole, finally i think that i did a very good job in making sure i followed the recipes to how they were intended.

Next time i think i gotta work on my mise en place skills which is extremely important when doing bigger recipes that require quick transitions and if there not complete then it could end up making the recipe to take longer then intended, i could also work on improving on my time management skills just a bit because i was pretty good at staying on schedule but it still could have been better.

Overall i was very proud of how the final products turned out and i would 100% make most of them again, i really enjoyed Breakfast casserole and my family liked it too, but i don’t think i’ll make the overnight oats again cause it just really wasn’t for me but it was still fun to make it. Finally i would make the smoothie again as well but next time i would probably add less protein powder and maybe more berries instead because the powder kinda took a bit of the flavor away for me so maybe i can try and improve on it so there can be more flavor there for next time.

For these reasons i decided to give myself 5 stars because everything turned out great in the end and i feel this lab was an important one for me because it showed me that it’s important to not over think things in recipes and that confidence is an important skill to becoming a great chef. So i’m glad i did this project and i feel that this will help me in the future become a better cook.
